Assault Weapons for All 09/14/2004 04:07 AM

E.J. Dionne (Washington Post): Staring Down the Barrel of The NRA. Sure, Bush says, he would sign a renewal of the (assault weapons) ban, which theoretically puts him on the side of the majority. But a president who was happy to bring excruciating pressure on Congress to pass his tax measures lifted not a finger to get Republican leaders in Congress to put the assault weapons bill on his desk.

Xeni Jardin: In North Korea: an explosion, a giant crater, and a "peculiar cloud." Both the South Korean government and the US government say they don't believe North Korea conducted a nuclear test.

President Bush and his top advisers have received intelligence reports in recent days describing a confusing series of actions by North Korea that some experts believe could indicate the country is preparing to conduct its first test explosion of a nuclear weapon, according to senior officials with access to the intelligence.

While the indications were viewed as serious enough to warrant a warning to the White House, American intelligence agencies appear divided about the significance of the new North Korean actions, much as they were about the evidence concerning Iraq's alleged weapons stockpiles.

Some analysts in agencies that were the most cautious about the Iraq findings have cautioned that they do not believe the activity detected in North Korea in the past three weeks is necessarily the harbinger of a test. A senior scientist who assesses nuclear intelligence says the new evidence "is not conclusive," but is potentially worrisome.

Vieques Leaps from Weapons to Wi-Fi

Vieques Leaps from Weapons to Wi-Fi 04/11/2005 08:35 PM

Puerto Rican Wi-Fi operator uses cell towers to distribute access: Island Hop isn't trying to unwire the entire island, but is bringing service to resorts and residences. The wait for DSL is a month on the north end of the island, but Island Hop brings in Wi-Fi-based broadband in about three days. Resorts are unwiring their entire compounds, too. There's already fiber to the island, although the article says it needs to be "updated," which probably means just new equipment on either end to deal with more capacity.

Interestingly, Vieques may be sparking a resurgence in an effort to unwire Puerto Rico's main island one near Vieques. About 1,200 to 2,000 offices are hooked up wirelessly through an earlier effort. That project was supposed to help bring Internet access to more residents, and that might be getting back on track.

There's no criticism in this article in Forbes, bastion of the free market, about the idea that the government is driving this part of the effort!

"I guess any self-respecting rancher would have shot, shoveled and shut up, but he didn't do that". An annoyed Premier of Alberta Ralph Klein was quoted saying this on Sept 17th, 2003 at a weekend meeting of U.S. governors and western Canadian premiers in response to the discovery of one case of mad-cow found in his province.
Fast forward to today: USDA refused to release mad cow records , United Press has been requesting these documents since July 10th, 2003 and has been continually stonewalled as recently as Dec 17th ,2003. Especially troubling is the question of where the Canadian mad-cow possibly originated.

Pardon the INXS reference, but it seems appropriate. We've all heard that weblogs are conversations, and we often assume that they are generally productive conversations. Even when someone (like me) posts a bitchy or uninformed entry, there's often some little bit of good to come out of it. That's generally a testament to my readers. Some have an uncanny ability to see what I'm getting at even when I can't quite seem to make my real point. But it's not...
